Abstract:
Magnetic diffuse scattering of neutrons was studied for a simple cubic antiferromagnet L1(2)-type Pt(3)Fe alloy in a paramagnetic phase. In order to visualize the physics, the data were analyzed using a localized spin model and effective exchange coupling parameters were determined. The result shows a special feature of exchange couplings; the first neighbor coupling constant J(1) has almost the same value and the same sign as that of the second neighbor J(2). This fact explains well coexistence of the (1/2 1/2 0)-type and (1/2 0 0)-type magnetic structures in the low temperature phase of Pt(3)Fe alloy.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
